Note that if you select the folder that corresponds to the required namespace in the Project tool window and then choose Refactor | Move, the Move Directory refactoring will be invoked. In the editor, position the caret at the namespace to move and choose Refactor | Move from the main menu or the selection context menu.

When you specify a namespace to move a namespace to, PhpStorm automatically updates the Target Destination Directory field, which shows the path to the folder that corresponds to the namespace.Īs an alternative to using the code editor, you can perform this refactoring by dragging folders in the Project tool window. PhpStorm supposes that the namespaces in your project are arranged in compliance with the PSR0 standard and enforces you to retain the folder structure and the namespace hierarchy in accordance with this standard when moving namespaces. You can vote for the feature and watch its current state in this YouTrack ticket. After moving a file, you will have to update the references manually, for example, by searching for the relevant string within the project. In the PHP context, updating references in include or require statements is currently not supported. To have the references to the selected file or folder updated according to the refactoring result, select the Search for references checkbox. Choose an existing folder from the list or type the full path to the parent folder to be created. In the To directory field, specify the folder to move the selected file or folder to. The dialog that opens depends on the type of the selected symbol.
